All work shall be completed in accordance with the plans and specifications, applicable industry standards, UFC, UFGS, NFPA, ASHRAE, NEC, SMACNA, NEBB, AABC, MUTCD, SDDCTEA, and AASHTO standards; federal, state, and local codes, regulations of EPA, OSHA, NEPA, and MSHA, if required; Network Enterprise Center (NEC) and SSVEC requirements; Fort Huachuca Energy Policy and Army Energy and Water Management Program. All government permits, certifications, lead paint and asbestos analyses, if required, etc. shall be obtained by the Contractor prior to commencement of work or prior to beginning construction and are the specific responsibility of the Contractor (Federal, State and local governments). Air quality control permitting efforts must be coordinated with DPW ENRD Air Quality Program prior to the start of any construction and prior to making any irrevocable decisions (i.e. purchasing equipment) related to equipment, activities or processes that have the potential to emit air pollutants such as combustion exhaust, dust, asbestos, evaporative emissions, refrigerant, etc. All certifications are the responsibility of the contractor (potable water health certifications, gas weld certifications, refrigerant technician certifications, asbestos removal certifications, etc.) and must be provided to the COR prior to final payment.

The provisions of Public Law 109-58 (Energy Policy Act of 2005) shall be totally incorporated. In the event of a conflict with industry standards, project specifications will take precedence.

All lighting projects are to be LED or equivalent. The Energy Branch must approve all designs prior to construction and all energy calculations must be included.

The contractor shall obtain specific approval for all materials and equipment that vary from the standards established herein. All work shall be performed in a skillful and workmanlike manner to current applicable industry standards and in accordance with manufacturer instructions. Work requiring certified craftsmen shall be performed by certified personnel. Proof of such certification, training, or other qualifications shall be made available to the Government upon request. If the manufacturer of any product used in accomplishing this project has published an installation and/or operation manual, such manual shall be followed in its entirety. If any organization such as, but not limited to, APA or ANSI publish any construction guide, it will be followed as applicable to this project. If the manufacturer’s manual deviates from any established code, regulation, local requirement or this scope of work, such deviation shall be brought to the attention of the government representative before award, for written resolution. A revised scope of work will be issued to specify such resolution and incorporated in any resulting award.

Commissioning of major systems (e.g., HVAC, fire protection, etc.) is required, unless otherwise noted.

The contractor shall comply with Federal directives by recycling at least 50% of Construction waste.

The contractor shall comply with all Federal, State and Army Environmental requirements. Ensure Contractor responsibilities and operating limitations are noted in proposal [i.e. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) shall be initiated and paid for by the contractor, contractor must conduct and record dust control for all dust-generating activities, contractor cannot use photochemically-reactive solvents in the application of architectural coating, etc.]. Contractor shall keep all required records as stated in the following (and any others as required by Federal/State authorities) and submit to the government.

Air, water, asbestos, lead based paint and hazardous waste, among others, need to be covered in any construction, demolition or renovation contract; thus, the contractor is required to maintain all record-keeping and submit it to the appropriate government entity at the appropriate time, with a copy sent to the DPW COR.

Work on historic buildings must follow the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, unless otherwise specified. Repair of historic fabric of the building must be completed with in-kind materials and color. If repair is not possible, replacement must be with in-kind material and color to match the historic fabric to the extent possible. All historic fabric of the building is Government property and those items that cannot be reused (such as doors, windows, door/window hardware, hand rails, etc.) shall be returned to the Government after removal from the building.

Environmental work statement clause for all exterior work (SWPPP) Through the Arizona Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (AZPDES) permitting program, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) regulates the discharge of storm water from construction sites throughout the state including those on military installations.

"Construction" refers to actions that result in a disturbance of the land, including clearing, grading, excavating, and other similar activities. It also includes "construction-related activities," areas that support the construction project such as stockpiles, borrow areas, concrete truck washouts, fueling areas, material storage areas, and equipment storage areas.

Stockpiles, borrow pits, etc. need to be weed-free areas. Contractors shall use certified weed-free fill or contractors must sterilize the fill before bringing it onto the installation.

The AZPDES Storm water Program requires operators of construction sites one acre or larger (including smaller sites that are part of a larger common plan of development) to obtain authorization to discharge storm water under an AZPDES construction storm water permit. The Contractor is responsible for determining whether its construction site will exceed this minimum threshold with consideration of the definition provided above and if so, obtaining coverage under an AZPDES construction storm water permit.

Obtaining coverage under an AZPDES permit entails preparing and implementing a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in accordance with ADEQ requirements and submitting a Notice of Intent (NOI) for coverage under the applicable AZPDES general permit. Once ADEQ receives the NOI, ADEQ then issues an authorization certificate to the Contractor. If a contractor has a sub-contractor working together on the same project, then the contractor and sub-contractor(s) will have to submit a NOI for the same job and separate authorization certificates will be issued to each party.

If the Contractor determines that the project will not exceed the minimum threshold and does not submit an NOI and it is later determined that the threshold is exceeded, the Contractor will be required to stop all work until they have completed the above process. If the appropriate documentation is not provided to the Government prior to the start of construction or once the threshold is exceeded, the Contracting Officer will be notified of the failure to comply with a contract requirement, the ADEQ Enforcement Section will be notified, and other appropriate action will be taken to resolve the matter. The Contractor and any sub-contractor(s) will be liable for any fines levied by ADEQ.

A critical component of the SWPPP is final site stabilization. This generally involves restoring the disturbed area to at least 70% of its former vegetative state. After implementing all aspects of the SWPPP, to include final site stabilization, the contractor submits a Notice of Termination to ADEQ, ending coverage under the AZPDES permit.

The government highly recommends that contractors visit the ADEQ website at https://www.azdeq.gov, under water programs and type in "Construction Permits/SWPPP" in the search box for all relevant information on obtaining coverage.

It is the responsibility of the Contractor to develop a SWPPP that meets applicable requirements; the Government will not review or approve the Contractor SWPPP for compliance with applicable laws. The Contractor and any sub-contractor(s) shall provide a copy of the ADEQ Notice of Intent (NOI) and a copy of the SWPPP to the Government employee performing construction oversight prior to any construction or construction-related activities as defined above. Contractor may request a courtesy inspection by the Government of their site as it conforms to their SWPPP.

Clean Up (FAR 52.236-12, Cleaning Up) The contractor shall at all times keep the work area, including storage areas, free from accumulation of waste materials. All trash will be removed from the site on a daily basis. Upon completion of the project, all equipment, materials and other items associated with the project shall be removed from the project site and the site shall be left clean. Any and all waste products created during performance of the work shall be removed from the project site, packaged in an environmentally approved manner and disposed of OFF-POST at an environmentally approved disposal site.

Utilities Where available, onsite utilities will be provided to the contractor at their expense and will require a Utility Sales Agreement with Fort Huachuca. These utilities shall be used only in the performance and support of the project.

Any temporary connection to the utility system will be coordinated with the contracting officer’s representative prior to hook-up. The contractor shall complete the temporary connection and all temporary electrical work in accordance with applicable codes and standards. Temporary electrical wiring and devices shall comply with the current National Electrical Code. Temporary wiring and devices shall be removed at project completion. All temporary electrical work shall be at the contractor’s expense.

Expansions/tie-ins to the potable water system and/or sewer collection system must be coordinated with the DPW. Some projects for expanding the potable water system and/or the sewer collection system will require an ADEQ 4.01 permit/NOI, prior to breaking ground.

Storage Areas/Lay Down Yards The contractor and the Contracting Officer’s Representative will agree on temporary storage areas and lay down yards in the general location of the project. Request for proposed storage area shall be submitted with the proposal documents. The contractor shall be responsible for the safety, security and maintenance associated with storage areas. Storage areas shall be kept clean and in a neat and organized appearance at all times. If the storage area is not maintained, the Contracting Officer may direct the contractor to store materials off the installation. Storage areas and lay down yards shall be returned to the existing stable state, which may require some rehabilitation of the land, like re-seeding with native grass mixtures.

DD Form 1354 Worksheet Preparation The contractor shall prepare a DD Form 1354 Information Worksheet near completion of the project and submit it to the Government prior to final inspection and acceptance. The contractor may obtain a DD Form 1354 Information worksheet from the DOC CS or the DPW COR.

Controlled Areas The contractor will be escorted for any and all work performed in controlled or secured areas. The occupant of the facility requiring the work will provide an escort for the contractor.

Waste Disposal and Borrow Pits The contractor shall comply with the Fort Huachuca Waste Disposal/Borrow Pit Plan and submit a project specific Environmental Protection/Borrow Pit Plan.

Inspection All work is subject to inspection and testing by the Government at all places and at all reasonable times before acceptance, in accordance with FAR 52.246-12, Inspection of Construction. Government inspections and tests do not relieve the contractor of the responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures, nor does it constitute or imply Government acceptance of the work. The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the contractor of complying with the specified requirements, nor is the Government inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without the Contracting Officer’s written authorization.

Accident Prevention The contractor shall comply with 29 CFR part 1926, 29 CFR part 1910, all state and local occupational safety and health requirements, and the requirements of EM 385-1-1, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual.

The contractor is responsible for accident prevention and safety and shall establish and maintain an effective system.

The plan shall be developed by a “qualified person” (EM 385-1-1, A-1, 1.a.) and be signed by a representative of the prime contractor’s “corporate office authorized to obligate the company.” The plan shall meet the minimum basic outline requirements contained in EM 385-1-1, Appendix A. The plan shall be job-specific and shall include work to be performed by subcontractors and measures to be taken by the contractor to control hazards associated with materials, services, or equipment provided by suppliers. The accident prevention plan shall include procedures for frequent safety inspections, conducted by competent persons, of the work sites, material, and equipment to ensure compliance with the plan and other referenced standards. Unless otherwise approved, Quality Control personnel shall conduct and document daily safety inspections.

Submittals The contractor shall provide information and/or submit samples of materials that the contractor contemplates incorporating in the work. All submittals shall be at the contractor’s expense.

If any of the equipment/material submittals are disapproved, the contractor shall resubmit the disapproved submittals for review and comment within five (5) working days of notification of their disapproval. This process shall continue until all equipment/materials are approved by the government.

If contractor uses or installs materials or equipment without approval, he does so at the risk of subsequent rejection, and replacement at his cost.

Final Inspection and Acceptance Final inspection and acceptance shall be conducted after the pre-final inspection is completed by the CQC representative and the pre-final inspection punch list items are completed by the contractor. The CQC representative compiles the pre-final punch list immediately after the work is completed. The Government’s PM/COR/QA representative will sign for completion documents after the final inspection and its punch list items are corrected; and upon receipt of acceptable As-Built Drawings and any delayed work (seeding prior to rainy season, Air Conditioning Test, Adjustment and Balancing in summer months, etc.).

Warranty Requirements All work shall be covered under the one-year warranty of construction (FAR 52.246-21, Warranty of Construction).

In addition to the one-year warranty of construction, the contractor shall obtain all warranties that would normally be given in commercial practice and, upon final acceptance of the work (or before), provide a list to the Government of each warranted equipment item, feature of construction, or system. The list shall indicate the following:

Name of item.

Model and Serial Number.

Installed location.

Name and phone numbers of manufacturers or suppliers.
